I found this more straightforward than last week’s Rufus but, I thought, rather lacking in the expected sparkle. There are the usual fine surfaces but some rather tired wordplay, including AD = notice – twice! [I’m not up on types of grid but I don’t remember seeing one like this, with four consecutive checked letters in 13 and 22ac.]

I didn’t know much about Sir Thomas More’s Utopia beyond its fame, but after finding a link for 21D and reading around I realise what a big deal this was.
Utopia from the greek ou-topos [no place] or eu-topos [good place].
In Utopia, there is communal ownership of land [Right on! Comrade …], private property does not exist [… Proudhon would be proud …], men and women are educated alike [… and Germaine …], and there is almost complete religious freedom except atheists are not tolerated [ … hmmm.]
